This was due to an ill advised mutiny led by a hot- headed Able Seaman named Fry who, in defiance of his senior officers – Royal Navy and Merchant Navy who were also POWs – attempted to set fire to the Portland with his ad hoc group and through their action set in motion a chain of events that led to the deaths of Frank Evans and Arthur Freeman.

Native of Argentina, killed on Active Service 2nd February 1945 (age 25). British Temporary Lieutenant John Godwin, RNVR (Buenos Aires, 13 December 1919[1] - Sachsenhausen, 2 February 1945) was born and brought up in Argentina, and took part in a raid named Operation Checkmate on Axis shipping near Haugesund, north of Stavanger, Norway.[1] His party managed to sink a minesweeper and a number of steamers using limpet mines, but he was eventually captured with the rest of his party, a commando sergeant, two Naval Petty Officers and three seamen. After spending some time in Grini concentration camp, they were sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp, where contrary to the Geneva Convention, they were forced to march thirty miles a day on cobbles testing army boots. On 2 February 1945 they were led to execution, in accordance with Hitler's Commando Order of 1942. Godwin managed to wrestle the pistol of the firing party commander from his belt and shot him dead before being himself shot. No superior officer witnessed this act so a decoration could not be awarded. However, his bravery was mentioned in dispatches (posthumously). The citation, in The London Gazette, 9 October 1945, read: "For great gallantry and inspiring example whilst a prisoner of war in German hands in Norway RNVR. HMS and afterwards at Sachsenhausen, near Oranienburg, Germany, 1942- Quebec. RN Land 1945".[2] .
